This is literally what happened to me. I was a registered libertarian (NOT ancap) for many years and I voted them every presidential election to try to help a third party come onto the stage. Then 2016 happened with that useless pothead Gary Whogivesashit and his RINO running mate Weld on the LIbertarian side, I realized that the LIberatrian party is controlled opposition and they will never do anything useful even if they ever got power. On top of that, the anti-conservative rhetoric from the Democrats building to a scream made it abundantly obvious to me that the left wanted to torture and kill me and my family just because I was conservative, and Republicans seem to be the only ones fighting against it (however limp-wristed it may be).

I registered Independent this year, but I have always voted full ticket conservative when I have a choice, and none when it's only Democrats. I honestly would rather vote MAGA party, but no one has started that yet, so I guess I'll vote straight Republican for now.
